Description

AGNELLE BUNDERVOËT (AMBERT, FRANCE, OCTOBER 12, 1922 – VAUCRESSON, FRANCE, FEBRUARY 14, 2015)

Very young she gave her first recitals. First she studied at the Conservatory of Marseille, she entered the National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris at the age of 13 and followed the piano lessons of Lazare Lévy (1936-1940) then by Marcel Ciampi (1940-1941), harmony lessons by Jacques de la Presle, chamber music lessons by Maurice Hewitt, fugue and counterpoint lessons by Simone Plé-Caussade and the accompaniment courses of Abel Estyle. She left the Conservatory seven years later with the first prize in piano and many other first prizes, music theory, harmony, accompaniment. Claude Delvincourt, director of the Conservatory, considered her at the time to be one of the finest jewels of the French piano school. Outside the conservatory, she also takes organ lessons from Marcel Dupré. Very quickly after the war, Agnelle Bundervoët became a soloist in major symphonic groups under the direction of the greatest conductors such as Paul Paray, Eugène Bigot, Henri Pensis, Charles Bruck, Tony Aubin  Louis Martin and Pierre-Michel Le Conte. She also became one of the most eminent soloists of French broadcasting and, for several years, she was chosen by Roland-Manuel to illustrate his live show on France Musique, Plaisir de la musique. Under the direction of Roland-Manuel, she recreates the concerto Jeunhomme specially written by Mozart for his visit to Paris. She also created Elsa Barraine ‘s concertino on the occasion of the Paris International Music Festival in 1954. In 1955 Agnelle Bundervoët won the Grand Prix International du Disque (Académie Charles-Cros) with a Jean-Sébastien Bach recital edited by Ducretet-Thomsom. The extraordinary breadth of his interpretation of the Chaconne gives rise to passionate debates between musicologists and critics. In 1956, at the end of a competition, Agnelle Bundervoët joined the Versailles Conservatory, where she spent thirty years teaching her art. Among his students where Nicolas Céloro, Laurence Disse, Christine Lagniel, Alain Boulfroy, Philippe Convent, Christine Generals, Monique Martinelli-Glemein and Gérard Parmentier. Several composers (Jacques de La Presle, Thomas Stubbs and Pierre Capdevielle) have dedicated concertos to her.
